http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/JavaScriptHelper.html#M001062 113: def button_to_function(name, *args, &block) 114: html_options = args.extract_options! 115: function = args[0] || '' 116: 117: html_options.symbolize_keys! 118: function = update_page(&block) if block_given? 119: tag(:input, html_options.merge({ 120: :type => "button", :value => name, 121: :onclick => (html_options[:onclick] ? "#{html_options[:onclick]}; " : "") + "#{function};" 122: })) 123: end See the source. Although I am not quite understand it, I am sure that the only way with which you can do this is using javascript in 'onclick' event, if there does exist a way. But if you want text and image before click, I think you'd better write html on your own.
